“Creating a painting is a journey and returning with
discoveries worth sharing and exploring, makes the
journey worthwhile.”
-Terry Gilecki
An ardent
interest in the beauty of Koi, and the diversity of their colors and
patterns, has led artist, Terry Gilecki, to devote his artistic
endeavours to capturing their essence in his masterful paintings.
His attraction to and study of Koi brought him to the realization that
through his paintings, he would be able to emulate the simple and
rewarding pleasure of actually watching Koi. Gilecki is,” pleased that
the ‘effect’ translated so well into his art, allowing him to bring a
small piece of Paradise into a viewer’s home.”
Koi are often referred to as “living jewels” or
“swimming flowers.” In Japan, they were referred to as “Warriors
Fish” and “The Fish of Nobility since they were too costly for the
average person to buy and keep. Today, top quality Koi can cost as much as $25,000 with pedigree Koi
values still climbing into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.more View
